Yang Guang of Dongdu and Li Mi of Xingyang obtained military information about Runan at almost the same time.
Songyang, which was lost due to Wang Bodang's invasion of the bandits, and various counties in Ruzhou have long been recovered.
Yang Guang's ruling area is actually connected into one area, but Runan is like a "chicken's neck" in this area.
To the south, across the Dabie Mountains, is Xiao Xian's territory, and to the northeast is the Wagang Army's territory. sphere of influence.
As long as Runan is occupied, the north-south traffic in the area actually controlled by the Sui Dynasty can be cut off.
Of course Li Mi, who was quite strategic, knew this very well during the period when Yang Guang returned to the north.
He tried to cut off the Huaihe River waterway several times, but because the Sui army had deep presence in Huainan, he always spent a lot of money to capture a Sui army stronghold on the north bank of the Huaihe River.
In just a few days, he could be defeated by the Sui army commanded by Jiangdu General Manager. recapture.
In the end, if you fail to steal the chicken, you will lose the rice.
Now Qin Qiong sent him a letter.
After reading it halfway, he understood and agreed with Qin Qiong's meaning, and immediately dispatched troops and baggage to reinforce Qin Qiong.
He wrote back to Qin Qiong and told Wang Bodang about his defeat.
It is hoped that Qin Qiong can defeat the Sui army in this battle and revive the prestige of the Wagang army.
Yang Guang of the Eastern Capital naturally knew the importance of Runan.
After some thought, he mobilized the Tianxing Army's light armored flying cavalry and Wang Ting's heavy cavalry as well as a thousand long archers, as well as 7,000 Henan County Sui troops.
The soldiers went south to fight.
Lai Hu'er led more than 10,000 troops to Ruyang County in a mighty manner, where a large number of Viking fleets were already waiting.
Lai Hu'er watched the soldiers get on the boat and was about to board the boat.
Suddenly he saw a horse galloping from the distance.
The man shouted: "Come on, general, wait until the Holy One has a decree to give you."
In Runan, there is a big battle in the Wagang Army camp.
Accompanied by a loud announcement, one of Qin Qiong's soldiers entered the tent and reported: "General, please report with horses from the north.
The Sui army is coming from the north.
There are about ten thousand people, advancing by land and water, along the Ru River.
Come.
We have reached Wujin territory, still more than fifty miles away."
Qin Qiong put down the letter from Li Mi in Xingyang and shouted: "Convene all the generals in the army.
We are going to hold a pre-military meeting."
Not long after, all the generals under Qin Qiong's command gathered around the sand table and sat down.
Only then did Qin Qiong tell them the news of the Sui army coming for reinforcements.
One of his generals said disapprovingly: "When the water comes, the earth will cover it, and the soldiers will stop it.
The Sui army has nothing to worry about.
According to Tan Ma, there are only ten thousand troops.
And we have just received reinforcements and food from Duke Wei.
The total strength is more than 20,000, and they can be defeated in one battle."
Qin Qiong rolled his eyes at him and said, "It's not that simple.
You have forgotten that there is a fortified city in front of us, with at least thousands of Sui troops inside.
We went out in full force to fight the Sui troops who came to our aid, and they sneaked out of the city to attack our rear.
What should we do?
Even if we don’t have this city, we can’t underestimate the enemy.
Haven’t you heard that a proud soldier will be defeated?”
The reprimanded general hesitated and stopped talking.
Qin Qiong began to deploy the troops he had been thinking about for a long time.
Qin Qiong left only 5,000 troops to monitor Runan County and guard the main camp, demanding that if any changes were discovered in Runan County, he would be given a head-on attack.
Qin Qiong personally led the remaining more than 15,000 Wagang elite troops to Rushui to meet the invading Sui army.

He had a conceited expression on his face, as if he was confident about defeating the Sui army.
In fact, Qin Qiong did have a brilliant plan to annihilate the Sui army.
Over the past few days, Qin Qiong has carefully surveyed the terrain around Runan County.
He was particularly impressed by a mound lying on the bank of Ru River, which was more than ten battles high, nearly two hundred battles, and more than thirty battles wide.
This lonely hillock did not seem to be a natural product, but should have been the product of a certain dynasty.
Large-scale architectural ruins or mausoleums were formed through the accumulation of sediment over time.
Nowadays, the hills are covered with shrubs and vegetation.
On the plains of the Huaihe River Basin of Mapingchuan, there are few places suitable for ambush.
According to Tanma's report, the Sui army came by land and water, so unless they abandoned their ships and landed in advance, they would have to pass through the Ru River channel next to the mound and the narrow path less than half a mile wide between the mound and the water channel.
Therefore, when ambushing troops on this hillock, even the step of luring the enemy to the ambush site can be omitted.
You can only wait and annihilate the invading enemy.
Qin Qiong's army moved quickly and soon arrived at this hillock.
He immediately ordered 10,000 soldiers to lie down among the vegetation on the hillock.
The other two thousand were placed on the banks of the Ru River and sat on the front bait.
The other three thousand were all cavalry.
Qin Qiong ordered them to make a large detour from the land to the upper reaches of Ru River.
Once the Sui army was defeated, he intercepted the Sui army from the rear and severely defeated the Sui army that fled north.
Everything was arranged properly, and Qin Qiong had a knowing smile on her face.
Now unless the opposing Sui general is lucky enough to suddenly go ashore early on a whim and take a detour to Runan, he will not be able to escape the fate of the entire army being destroyed.
Three hours later, the vanguard of Lai Hu'er's army arrived less than a mile away from this hillock.
In the river, Lai Hu'er took the Viking warship at the front.
I couldn't put it down and held a bamboo telescope.
Lai Hu'er knew in his heart that if he didn't have this rare thing given to him by the Holy Emperor, he would have to send a large number of reconnaissance cavalry scouts to repeatedly conduct reconnaissance on both sides of the lower reaches of Ru River before he could move forward with confidence.
In this case, the marching speed of the army would be greatly slowed down.
"What a good thing."
Lai Huer praised the treasure in his hand again.
I was about to raise the mirror and take a look.
Suddenly, a soldier scout beside him who was looking around with a telescope suddenly shouted: "General, there seems to be a situation."
As he spoke, he pointed to the hillock a mile away.
"That's a mound, what's going on?"
Lai Hu'er said and raised his binoculars to look at the mound.
But nothing was found for a while.
"General Qi, I just noticed through the telescope that there seemed to be a figure moving among the vegetation on the hillock."
Lai Huer became alert and ordered, "Let the fleet stop moving forward.
Temporarily anchor in the river.
Send a signal to the cavalry on the shore and ask them to stop advancing too."
After saying that, Lai Huer squinted one eye, raised his binoculars, and looked at the mound carefully.
A Wagang soldier who was ambushing in the Tugang mountain forest suddenly felt urgent to urinate.
After signaling to his team leader, he moved to a place far away from his robe and peed.
Little did he know that someone a mile away could clearly see him peeing.
Then as the soldier returned to his position, Lai Huer found more Wagang soldiers crouching in the grass and vegetation on the hillock.
Lai Huer put down the telescope, with a strange smile on his face.
The order was given: "Pass my military order, all soldiers of the rear army will go ashore, and then the fleet will continue to move forward.
Cavalry" Qin Qiong had vaguely seen the forest of masts and ships in the Ru River in the distance early on, but because they were too far away, he didn't know how strange these ships were.
But what surprised him was that the ships seemed to have stopped suddenly, and the outlines of the ships had not grown larger for a long time
